First Look At Lucy Lawless As 'Ruby' In ASH VS. EVIL DEAD
After a couple of awesome trailers, we now have our first glimpse of the mysterious character played by the Warrior Princess herself, Lucy Lawless.
Lucy Lawless (Xena, Battlestar Galactica, Spartacus) made quite an impression with a small role in the previous season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, and by the sounds of things she'll be playing another badass character in Starz' Ash Vs. Evil Dead. Like Ash, Ruby is also on a mission to wipe the new plaque of evil from the world - but as far as she's concerned, that includes the unfortunate stock boy. “She’s a bad bitch and she’s stalking Ash Williams,” Lawless said. “She’s got a big chip on her shoulder and a hot obsession.”
Bruce Campbell will reprise his role as the title character Ash, a stock boy, aging lothario and chainsaw-handed monster hunter who has spent the past three decades avoiding responsibility, maturity and the terrors of the Evil Dead. When a Deadite plague threatens to destroy all of mankind, Ash is finally forced to face his demons — personal and literal. Destiny, it turns out, has no plans to release the unlikely hero from its evil grip.
Set for a late 2015 premiere, Sam Raimi directed the pilot which will also stars Lucy Lawless (Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Marrie Jones (Sleepy Hollow), Ray Santiago (Touch) and Dana Delorenzo (Growing Up Fisher).
